Dance in the Dark

I will find my fire

A heart bleeding love

The faintest of candle flames

In a sea of dark

I touch your whisper

Breath lingering in longing

Wounds I cannot mend

Imperfection within your beauty

Stitches of scarlet string

Binding us together

Become entangled 

In the words my passion weaves

Innocence wanes and fades

Slipping into the grace of night

Where words lose meaning

Follow my way of feeling

Forever become my darkness

And I will always be your light

Oh I love the title and the imagery in this... just; very nice, I really enjoyed it. Love the feeling in the first stanza to begin the poem and love the second stanza. In the third stanza I love the way you built it using the stitching, binding, entangling, and weaving. And the last stanza, love how you ended the poem with the emotion.

Wow.. cleverly written. I liked the imagery and symbolism in the scarlet string. Your word choice was excellent, and there was a sense of rhythm in the first stanza that just made everything flow together. Nicely done.
